USC University Hospital

"I was treated well from day one. The hospital was very clean, well equipped. The key was the staff. I had everything I needed when I needed it. They helped me with everything, including a shower whenever I wanted one. They were kind and pleasant at the same time that they were professional. The accomodations were great and the staff was superior."

Jason Wang

Namir Katkhouda

"I was introduced to Kr. Katkhouda by one of his team members. (He was doing my sister's surgery). He is chief of the laproscopic surgery department at USC University Hospital. He is also a professor of laproscopic surgery. He has a world renown reputation as a laproscic surgeon and has published numerus articles and books on the subject. First impression was that he was very serious, well dressed, highly professional and down to business. He was pointed with his questions....and there were many. As the consult went on, he lightened up and had a delightful personality. He was totally honest about everything, life style changes, after care requirements, risks etc. At the same time, he was very reassuring and easy to talk to and ask questins of. I felt so good after the consult. I knew that I had made the right choice. He strongly emphasizes aftr care. He has just started a support group for his patients that he will attend as well. His assistant Anna is very helpful, friendly and pleasent to deal with. She handles so many things for the patients. She has become too busy however and really needs an assistnt herself. Hopefully he will hire one. I rate him highly...a 10 for sure. Because of my insurance and location I was able to choose from some of he most popular and well know WLS surgeons around. I chose Dr. Katkhouda and am so happy that I did."
